Roman Reigns Wants His Cousins To Bring Home The Tag Team Gold.
Once again, this episode started off with none other than Roman Reigns talking and who isn't all for that, am I right?
The basic gist of the promo is like the title suggests, is about Reigns wanting to make sure that The Usos leaves the Thunderdome as the 7-time tag team champions.
Out of all the "Roman Reigns opening dialogue" segments I've seen, this was in the lower tier side of things.
It wasn't terrible but it didn't have the "punchline" that makes those segment all that more impactful in my eyes.
The Usos vs Rey And Dominik Mysterio For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship.
During the encounter, The Usos delivered a sick looking pop-up Samoan drop to Dominik Mysterio.
Jimmy was aiming for the splash however, Dominik turned it into a roll-up pin to retain the blue tag belts.
This match did. Not. Dissa. Point. The only thing I could nitpick is that the match was a tiny bit short but again, I'm just nitpicking.
Later in the evening, Roman Reigns was mad at The Usos losing, saying that it's an embarrassment and wanted the loss "to be fixed tonight".
This entire scene was my entire discourse with my parents after I failed a test in school.
The main event program was The Usos facing Rey and Dominik Mysterio again and the match ended via a DQ thanks to Roman Reigns brutally attacking the tag team champions.
Does this entire thing lead to a 2 on 1 handicap match between The Usos and Roman Reigns or Jimmy Uso vs Roman Reigns?
Will have to wait and see.
In an interview with Kalya Braxton regarding Seth Rollins' recent attacks on Cesaro, Rollins doesn't owe anyone an explanation as to why he attacked the Swiss cyborg. The man was a troll in this and it's hilarious.
Bianca Belair Challenges Bayley At Hell In A Cell.
The headline above was the brief take on this scene other than the Bayley laughing clips that surrounded the Thunderdome.
That alone is scarier than anything that WWE tried to pull off with Alexa Bliss.
The Street Profits were attacked by Otis due to the fact that they refused to join Chad Gable's alpha academy.
While it's sad that Otis' charming, lovable persona is buried 6 feet under, this mean, angry side of Otis is growing on me.
Carmella vs Liv Morgan.
With Ruby Riott released, SmackDown's women's division is like my pizza crust. Really f**king thin (the same could definitely be said for the women's tag team division or lack thereof).
The match was decent for the most part. Morgan put an effort into this. Unfortunately for Morgan, Carmella prevailed in the end with the code of silence.
Shinsuke Nakamura vs King Corbin.
This feud is so darn lame. Nakamura lost the match but the former Eric Bugenhagen helped Shinsuke steal Kong Corbin's crown. Cool.
Kevin Owens vs Apollo Crews For The Intercontinental Championship.
Owens was beatdown by Commander Azzez backstage which obviously affected the outcome of this intercontinental championship match which was, of course, a loss for Owens.
Oh, and the dude was helluva kicked by Sami Zayn moments after the match.
Not one victory from Apollo Crews in the matches he's had since becoming IC champion, was dominant.
Like I said in my previous reviews, WWE kept Apollo's booking real old school in that Crews is the "chicken s*t heel" cliche and what's frustrating about the writing of Apollo Crews' character is that it doesn't have to be presented that way.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: The Usos vs Rey And Dominik Mysterio For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship.
Didn't like: Apollo Crews' booking, The Smackdown women's division is way too damn small (as well as the women's tag team division), Shinsuke Nakamura vs King Corbin (and the entire feud).
(And no, I am not reviewing AEW Dynamite until the show moves back to its regular scheduled timeslot because life. Just life).
